	/* The idea behind this function is that many fs implementations (e.g. for
	 * overlay fs) will want to forward received requests to the original fs
	 * implementation.
	 *
	 * Having some special support for this in the kernel makes sense - it would
	 * avoid a lot of unnecessary copies. However, it wouldn't be necessary for
	 * a working kernel - and since I want the "base" of this system to be a small
	 * as possible, I want to have an alternative implementation of this in the
	 * userland which works in exactly the same way. The libc would then choose
	 * the best available implementation.
	 *
	 * (note: this wouldn't be an issue if i treated everything like functions
	 *        in the ruby prototype)
	 *
	 * This function was supposed to avoid unnecessary copies on delegated reads.
	 * It is being executed /after/ the write read, though. I don't currently see
	 * a good way to fix that. Here are a few loose ideas:
	 *   - a fs_wait flag which requires a separate syscall to get the write copy
	 *   - a way to "mark" returned handles
	 *     - no write copy mark
	 *     - mark with delegate handle
	 *         every vfs op would go directly to that delegate handle
	 *         probably the fastest way
	 *   - treat open() just like in the ruby prototype
	 *       Instead of just returning a handle, the driver would return a list
	 *       of functions. Here's how it would work, in pseudocode:
	 *          ```
	 *          # for full delegation
	 *          respond_new_handle({
	 *          	read:  {DELEGATE, handle}, // extract the read function from `handle`
	 *          	write: {DELEGATE, handle},
	 *          	close: {DELEGATE, handle}
	 *          });
	 *          ```
